Enhanced Drug Effect With Cutting Balloon Followed by Drug Coated Balloon in a Rabbit Model

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drug‐coated balloon (DCB) are effective treatment options for patients with coronary artery disease and using of scoring or cutting balloon before the DCB usage were recommended. However, the effectiveness of lesion preparation with cutting balloons (CB) followed by DCB (CB + DCB) has not been evaluated before.

The IkB kinase inhibitor nuclear factor-kB essential modulator–binding domain peptide for inhibition of balloon injury-induced neointimal formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Objective—The activation of nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) is a crucial step in the arterial wall’s response to injury. The identification and characterization of the NF-kB essential modulator– binding domain (NBD) peptide, which can block the activation of

Cutting balloon angioplasty for intrastent restenosis treatment

open access: yesArquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 1999
We describe here two patients with angiographic diagnosis of intrastent restenosis and regional myocardial ischemia. One stent restenosis was located in a native coronary artery and the other in a vein graft.

An unknown cause of hemoptysis-Left anterior descending coronary artery to left upper lobe bronchus fistula

open access: yesLung India, 2015
We report a case of left anterior descending coronary artery to left upper lobe bronchus fistula arising out of the coronary artery aneurysm, secondary to drug eluting balloon angioplasty done for in-stent restenosis in the left anterior descending ...

Safety and Efficacy of an Innovative Everolimus-Coated Balloon in a Swine Coronary Artery Model

open access: yesLife, 2023
Background: Drug-coated balloons have been used as a non-stenting treatment in coronary and peripheral artery disease. Until recently, only sirolimus- and paclitaxel-coated balloons have been investigated in clinical trials.

Randomized comparison of primary stenting and provisional balloon angioplasty guided by flow velocity measurement. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
BACKGROUND: Coronary stenting improves outcomes compared with balloon angioplasty, but it is costly and may have other disadvantages. Limiting stent use to patients with a suboptimal result after angioplasty (provisional angioplasty) may be as effective ...
